Explain

If you use two or more works from the same anthology in your paper, provide an entry for the entire anthology and then give a shortened entry for each selection.

  • For each shortened entry, include the author and the title of the selection.
  • Then give the last name(s) of the editor(s) of the anthology, followed by a comma, the abbreviation "p." or "pp.," and the page numbers on which the selection appears.
  • Alphabetize the entries in the list of works cited by authors’ or editors’ last names, as shown in the examples.
